Help for Refugees
People become refugees when they have to leave their home in an emergency or when their home is lost. There are millions of refugees in the world.

our planet Earth. Earth has everything that people, animals, and plants need - air, water, and land. Everyone should care for our planet.

People damage Earth with pollution that comes from vehicles like cars and planes, and from electricity used at home and in industry. To make electricity, people burn fossil fuels, like coal and oil. This makes too many gases like carbon dioxide, and they make Earth too warm. People use a lot of land to build towns and cities. They cut down millions of trees to clear land. All these things can damage the environment.

Protecting the Environment
Governments, charities, and individuals are working to find ways to protect the environment. Environmental campaigners teach people about problem like pollution. They talk to governments and news reporter. They tell people about ways to stop pollution.
Many volunteers help to protect the environment after a disaster. For example, they clean beaches after an oil spill, or they plant new trees after a fire.

too much water when you wash your hands and face, brush your teeth, and wash the dishes.
* turn off the water when you have enough.
* put water in the refrigerator, so that you don't have to turn on the water and use lots of it every time you want a cold drink.
* take a shower, not a bath. If you have to take a bath, don't fill the bathtub.

You can save plants!
*when you go out for a walk, you should always leave flowers where they grow. Then, in the future, more plants will grow from the seeds. In gardens and parks, you can grow plants that animals need for food and homes.

* if we all use less electricity, we will use fewer fossil fuels. This will reduce pollution.
* you should recycle things as much as possible.
* when you turn off electricity, you can help to keep seals safe! Harp seals have their babies on the ocean ice in the Arctic. If Earth gets warmer, the ice will melt and the seals could be threatened.


In small ways, we can help the environment in a big way.
We can all help our planet!
